 Overall I enjoyed reading this cozy mystery. This is the second book in the series. Lucy and the Town of Buttercup, Texas are celebrating Christmas. Lucy is woken in the middle of the night by someone digging for treasure on her property. The next day when picking up her goats they smell smoke and discover a house on fire and a dead body in the house. When her friend is arrested for the murder she sets out to solve the crime. I like the characters and the small town setting. I do not like it when the police are portrayed as stupid and need the amateur sleuth to solve the crime. The mystery was good and there were enough suspects to keep it interesting. There are a few surprises. The visit from Lucy's parents was a nice distraction. Enjoy this Holiday Cozy
